Yorkville Condominiums Toronto Real Estate

Luxury Boutique Buildings With Under 50 Suites

There is a small group of exclusive condominium buildings in Yorkville Toronto that have less than fifty suites. Ownership has its privileges as privacy and discretion are built-in standard features of these luxury boutique buildings. Often times their exact location may go unnoticed as their understated private entrances provide the only evidence that they even exist.

Unlike their high-rise counterparts, the floor plans and architecture of the suites in luxury boutique buildings tend to be more original, personable and innovative and many suites occupy whole or half floors.

Boutique luxury buildings also provide owners with an intimate living atmosphere. A smaller but more dedicated building staff can focus on the personal needs of each individual resident.

However this privacy and discretion comes with a price tag. Living large in a luxury boutique building in Yorkville costs more. Maintenance fees are higher than in larger buildings as there are less unit owners to share in the costs of amenities and building upkeep.

No. 155 Cumberland Street 15 SuitesSince the early 1960's a unique two storey penthouse apartment stood atop the office tower at 130 Bloor Street West. Accessed from a discrete entrance on Cumberland, it belonged to philanthropists and society couple Rose and Noah Torno. The 10,000 square foot penthouse was designed in the modernist style of famous American architect Philip Johnson with large windows and large planes.

In creating Nº 155 Cumberland Street, the development team retained the Torno two storey penthouse on levels 13 and 14 and built above it and below it creating high-end residences that mirrored the architectural design and quality of this original penthouse. Existing floors 11 and 12 were converted from office space into five condominium suites. Seven new levels, adding an additional nine suites, were also built above the original penthouse creating an irregular tower faced in limestone.

Residents use the same private entrance that the Tornos did which opens to a luxurious lobby with two private express elevators. All suites feature large terraces or balconies and outdoor barbequing is permitted. Ceiling heights are eleven feet and the penthouse and sub penthouse levels feature twelve foot ceiling heights. Interior finishes were done by builder Joe Brennan with suites having floor to ceiling unobstructed windows and radiant in-floor heating.
